Resilio Sync. Very efficient and fast. Start periodically on desktop and phone to sync all needed data both ways. Uploading data from desktop to s3 compatible storage as backup.


I guess that's why Elon Musk is so successful?

He does not shy away from taking responsibility (and loudly boasting about it / taking credit on Twitter/x).


How horrible mismanaged have all other big companies have to be, for someone like Elon Musk to easily overpower and overtake them?

It's not like overworking employees is a novel concept no other big corp has left untried.

I think attributing Musks success to "overworking employees" is either completely wrong or not sufficient to explain his success.

You can't say it's by chance, because it's not his first and last successful company either.


I'll play the devils advocate.

1. Ownership and Security

Bitcoin is the only solution to really "owning" your money. Everything in your bank account can be stolen / frozen / or made "inaccessible" at a moments notice because of some vague bullshit reason like supporting right extremists or terrorists - even if you donate a single dollar - like it happened in in 2023 Canada / freedom convoy. Everything a bank claims to be secure/safe goes away like a poof of smoke if it really comes down to it. The can't be any safety in our increasingly multi-polar world the political boundaries are redefined daily. Today Russia/China is the enemy, tomorrow it's some other country that will suffer economical sanctions. Or your own country decides to apply punitive measures against some minority group because of political opinion - all the control mechanisms are there and politicians are itching to use them.

2. It's less than our current banking sector

Yeah, consuming this much natural resources / electricity sucks. That's the alternative? Do you count how much money is spend on the banking spector as a whole? I assure you it consumes much more then the 2% in capital expenditure - so indirectly it's more (you could have build renewables with the same money) .

3. Scalability

About the famous argument that bitcoin does not scale: the 7 transaction per second argument -> this problem is completely solved by the lightning network. Lightning protocol does the same with much lower transaction cost and much less energy usage - something like 100x less. Yes support at major vendors is still a bit lagging behind but that's only temporary. Need a 100% confirmation? Do full transaction (for example for accounting purposes). Small sums and personal funds -> can be completely handled by a lightweight lightning network transaction. Bitcoin is a highly technical solution and there are myriad ways things can be improved upon if scalability really becomes an issue - even if the lightning network would become saturated.


Please test your website on mobile.

The navbar takes like 33% screen state and can't be removed.

I never understand why people want to make them sticky and steal valuable reading screen space. You can, if you want, always scroll to the top in like 300 ms.


75% zoom alleviated most of the ux issues I had


I agree, I have the Kill Sticky extension installed on my mobile browser and it works great for these kinds of situations.


> The navbar takes like 33% screen state and can't be removed.

very svelte compared to most cookie notices.


I find goaccess the best solution for this if you host your website or web app on a vps.

No client side analytics, tracking, or cookies at all!

goaccess generates same/similar dashboards as plausible without having to host/manage any additional self hosted services


LNG is mostly imported from Qatar and Russia

Russia - is now (thanks to Germany) one of the top exporters of LNG. With some creative accounting (rewriting labels) of where the oil/gas/lng came from (Russia) -> even India is now a Net exporter of oil.

Please note that LNG is even more environmentally damaging than burning coal.

Australia is a big exporter of LNG...they even need to liquify it to use it themselves (where gas is available is often too far away from where people are to use just pipelines).


How so? How many toxins and heave metals are emitted by burning LNG?


Solid.js comes to mind

- not a framework, but a library

- can do fine gained state updates without unnecessary re-renderings (reactivity)

- uses dom instead of vdom to produce best in class SPA performance

- uses jsx like react

100% agree.

Crypto today is the only way how you can take control of your own funds.

What use is the money in your Bank account if the ruling political party can label you an ultra-right extremist and retroactively lock all your money down, just because of a single 1$ donation you did to a cause you believed to be right, like Canada did?


> can label you an ultra-right extremist and retroactively lock all your money down

Nitpick: about half the time (on sufficiently long term average), they'll instead label you a ultra-left extremist (most infamously anti-COMINTERN initiatives in the 1930s-1950s, but it tends to wobble back and forth depending on what's politically convenient).


> Crypto today is the only way how you can take control of your own funds.

Well, digging a hole in the forest and storing money there technically remains an option.

May be more viable than crypto for certain rare use cases.


No one had their accounts closed in Canada purely based on a donation.


There were a number of reports coming from conservative MPs of this very thing happening. Regardless of the veracity of their claims, the financial systems in place were able and prepared to do this, before the measures were lifted.

> Even a $20 donation to the Freedom Convoy after Feb. 15 could result in the donor’s bank accounts being frozen, a Commons committee heard Tuesday.

So what justified closing their account instead?


Author is using tailwind wrong

Complaining about a technology (tailwind) while not using its surrounding ecosystem is not really a good way to build things.

How to do it:

- encapsulte/extract react/jsx components - for readability, so you do not have a wall off endless meaningless divs. Examples: Article, ArticleHeader, ArticleContent, ArticleSummary, etc...

- use cva https://github.com/joe-bell/cva to style generic ui components (like buttons) to archive same grouping as in semantic css

- use https://github.com/dcastil/tailwind-merge to merge/overwrite tailwind classes (like in css)

- result: separated react/jsx components with only a few lines of tailwind classes - are very readable and easily maintainable
